Real time adaptive controller medication dosing

Abstract

Systems and methods for monitoring accurate, real-time medicament device events, performing analytics on that data, and providing notifications are described. In various embodiments, an application server receives controller medication events, analyzes the events, associated event times, and controller medication dosage plans to characterize event times and send notifications for future doses. The controller medication dosage plan may specify a dose time for a planned dose, a narrow time window comprising the dose time, and an expanded time window comprising the narrow time window and longer in duration than the narrow time window, and the events may be characterized based on their time relative to the dose time, the time windows, and other events.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A method comprising:
 receiving a first medication usage event by a medicament device recorded at a first recorded time and a second medication usage event by the medicament device recorded at a second recorded time, the second recorded time subsequent to the first recorded time; 
 determining whether the first recorded time is within a time window inclusive of a scheduled time for a planned dose specified in a controller medication dosage plan; 
 determining whether the second recorded time is within the time window; 
 in response to determining that the first recorded time and the second recorded time are not within the time window, determining whether the first recorded time or the second recorded time is closer to the scheduled time; 
 in response to determining that the second recorded time is closer to the scheduled time:
 recharacterizing the first medication usage event as an excessive dose, and 
 characterizing the second medication usage event as an off-schedule dose; 
 generating a notification indicative of the characterization of the first medication usage event as an excessive dose and the second medication usage event as the off-schedule dose; and 
 presenting the notification on a display of a computing device associated with the medicament device. 
 
 
     
     
       2. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the scheduled time is in a middle of the time window. 
     
     
       3. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the notification recommends a patient of the medicament device to skip a subsequent planned dose in the controller medication dosage plan. 
     
     
       4. The method of  claim 3 , wherein the notification provides an opportunity for the patient of the medicament device to update the controller medication dosing plan. 
     
     
       5. The method of  claim 1 , wherein a sensor is coupled to the medicament device and configured to detect a priming action of the medicament device, wherein the sensor recorded the first medication usage event responsive to having detected a first priming action of the medicament device at the first recorded time and recorded the second medication usage event responsive to having detected a second priming action of the medicament device at the second recorded time. 
     
     
       6. The method of  claim 5 , wherein the first priming action and the second priming action include activating a mechanism to release a dose of a medication from a packaging. 
     
     
       7. The method of  claim 5 , wherein the first priming action and the second priming action include shaking a medication canister loaded into the medicament device. 
     
     
       8. The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 in response to determining that one of the first recorded time and the second recorded time is within the time window and the other of the first recorded time and the second recorded time is not within the time window, characterizing the one within the time window as an on-time dose and the other not within the time window as an excessive dose. 
 
     
     
       9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising stored computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
 receive a first medication usage event by a medicament device recorded at a first recorded time and a second medication usage event by the medicament device recorded at a second recorded time, the second recorded time subsequent to the first recorded time; 
 determine whether the first recorded time is within a time window inclusive of a scheduled time for a planned dose specified in a controller medication dosage plan; 
 determine whether the second recorded time is within the time window; 
 in response to determining that the first recorded time and the second recorded time are not within the time window, determine whether the first recorded time or the second recorded time is closer to the scheduled time; 
 in response to determining that the second recorded time is closer to the scheduled time:
 recharacterize the first medication usage event as an excessive dose, and 
 characterize the second medication usage event as an off-schedule dose; 
 generate a notification indicative of the characterization of the first medication usage event as an excessive dose and the second medication usage event as the off-schedule dose; and 
 present the notification on a display of a computing device associated with the medicament device. 
 
 
     
     
       10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 9 , wherein the scheduled time is in a middle of the time window. 
     
     
       11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 9 , wherein the notification recommends a patient of the medicament device to skip a subsequent planned dose in the controller medication dosage plan. 
     
     
       12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 11 , wherein the notification provides an opportunity for the patient of the medicament device to update the controller medication dosing plan. 
     
     
       13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 9 , wherein a sensor is coupled to the medicament device and configured to detect a priming action of the medicament device, wherein the sensor recorded the first medication usage event responsive to having detected a first priming action of the medicament device at the first recorded time and recorded the second medication usage event responsive to having detected a second priming action of the medicament device at the second recorded time. 
     
     
       14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 13 , wherein the first priming action and the second priming action include activating a mechanism to release a dose of a medication from a packaging. 
     
     
       15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 13 , wherein the first priming action and the second priming action include shaking a medication canister loaded into the medicament device. 
     
     
       16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium  claim 9 , further comprising instructions that when executed cause the processor to:
 in response to determining that one of the first recorded time and the second recorded time is within the time window and the other of the first recorded time and the second recorded time is not within the time window, characterize the one within the time window as an on-time dose and the other not within the time window as an excessive dose. 
 
     
     
       17. A system comprising:
 a medicament device sensor attached to a medicament device communicatively coupled to a computing device, the medicament device sensor comprising: 
 one or more sensors configured to detect usage of the medicament device as one or more medication usage events; and 
 a network adapter configured to communicate with the computing device; and 
 a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising stored computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
 receive a first medication usage event by a medicament device recorded at a first recorded time and a second medication usage event by the medicament device recorded at a second recorded time, the second recorded time subsequent to the first recorded time; 
 determine whether the first recorded time is within a time window inclusive of a scheduled time for a planned dose specified in a controller medication dosage plan; 
 determine whether the second recorded time is within the time window; 
 in response to determining that the first recorded time and the second recorded time are not within the time window, determine whether the first recorded time or the second recorded time is closer to the scheduled time; 
 in response to determining that the second recorded time is closer to the scheduled time:
